obtaining the url

[teh j <to...@yahoo.com.au>]

Hi guys

Just wondering if there is a way for a JSP to get the
URL of the web page that it was accessed by?
EG say you are at page2.jsp and u got here by clicking
on a link at page1.jsp, is there a way to retrieve the
fact that you arrived at page2.jsp by clicking from
page1.jsp?

Try getting the referer header (not sure of exact spelling or
capitalization).
